This is the best book on Taoism that i've read. Illuminates beautifully that seemingly murky yet wonderfully simple philosophy; full of wit, great examples and metaphors, inspiring and original ideas, and above all the slippery glint of truth, like catching sight of a fast fish moving in a stream. (hmm...) His appropriately 'flowing' style is all the more flowing due to the fact that these are talks that he gave, recorded by Mark Watts.

Anyone interested in the precise exposing of ALL the "ills" modern man suffers from really needs to read this book - several times. Relationships; Family; Personal Perspectives; Toxic, Anti-Life Science; the whole damn thing - its all laid out in a wonderful, captivating, thought-provocing manner. This IS "Taoism" made comprehensible for the deluded, insane, muddled Western Intellect. Too bad its not back in print. The world desperately needs more books like this one. Get it used if you can. Forget the price, you'll find it well worth it.
